<p>In the poster, Rubina is seen donning a saree with gajras adorning her hair. Given her pose, with her hands resting on her waist, it can be presumed that she is either playing a transgender character like her TV show Shakti or a sex worker. The woman stands tall facing the maximum city as Mumbai’s famous spots — Gateway of India, Hotel Taj, Central railway station, Siddhivinayak temple and the marine drive — are seen in the poster.</p>
<p>Ardh is being targeted for an OTT release in early 2022.</p>
